Albert o. Norton. writing from COkatO,
Wright county. says: Il have received
THE MIRROR regularly, and like it, with
out exception, better than any other of the
five papers that take. Keep right along,
boys; you are doing well, better by long
shot. than could be expected from those
who cannot get around to help themselves,
to newsy matter. 1 wish you the best of
success in your good work."

AS next Sunday will be the last in which
Rev. Mr. Matthew will officiate as our
chaplain, considerable speculation is rife as
to who will be his successor. We have
heard a rumOr that the resident officers and
inspectors were in favor of appointing a
chaplain whose exclusive duties would be to
look after the interests of the inmates of
the prison, at a stated salary, say 81. 900 or
81, 200 per year. We think this is step in
the right direction. Although Chaplain
Matthew has given excellent satisfaction,
his duties to his congregation outside have
prevented him from devoting as much time
to the prison as he otherwise would. We
think the state could well afford to expend
the few additional dollars necessary to fur
nish us with a resident chaplain, and hope
the matter will meet with the approval of
those with whom the final decision rests.

In last weeks issue we published an arti-
Gle by Chas. Kazer, showing that "charac-
ter is fOrmed"-that it was not a ready
made article to be put on at will. In this
issue Rambler makes the wild assertion
that ''character is born, not made" That a
persons inherited character sites have a
great deal to do with his character it can
not be denied. but it seems incredible to
us that one of our number should persist
that his character was formed at birth.
We are all more or less creatures.of circun-
stances, but the education we get and the
associations we keep from the cradle till we
arrive at mans estate have more to do with
the formation of character than inherited
tendencies. There are, of course, excep-
tons to this rule, but they are very rare.
RAMBLER" is evidently fatalist,

THE CENTRAL's EXTENSIONS.
Work on the Alabama Roads-The
Goodwater Branch.

Work on the Alabama Roads-The
Goodwater Branch.
The Central railroad is pushing its west
ern branches rapidly, and some of them are
nearing completion. Rail laying will begin
on the Blakely extension within the course
of three or four days. The work of grading
the Ozark branch is being pushed and it
will not be long before that, too, will be
ready for the rails.
The Goodwater extension is all ready ex-
cept the two tunnels the other side of the
Coosa and they will probably prevent the
opening of tine line before February These
tunnels have been as difficult pieces of work
as have ever been undertaken in the South
The rock through which the contractors are
boring is exceedingly hard and consequently
the work is slow. For several months
the contractors had the greatest difficulty
in getting laborers. The work is extremely
hard and requires able-bodied men, but
though thousands could be found capable of
doing it, they would not touch it even,
though they were paid better wages than
they would have earned elsewhere Hun
dreds of men were taken there to do the
work Some staid few DAYS, some one or
two DAYS and others would not even start to
work Contractors brought up camps with
men, camp equipage and all the articles
necessary TO Keep the men, but before the
tents were pitched they started off again,
and sometimes not one of the lot would be
found there within few hours after they
arrived.
Miners were brought from the Alabama
mines upon the belief that the work would
not be such a novelty to them and they
would be willing to stick at the work, but 1t
was not so. They were as ready to desert
as anyone else. There has not been so much
trouble from this cause of late, however
The contractors have had men enough to do
the work though they have not been able to
build up the force they would like to have
The only serious trouble in their way now is
the hardness of the rock, but they are work
ing away and by spring will have pierced
the mountains.
The Eufaula extension is building rapidly.
A large force Of men is at work, and the
road is being built without delay.

SENATOR REAGANs SUCCESSOR.
A Congressman Who illustrates the
Cowboy Type in the House

A Congressman Who Illustrates the
Cowboy Type in the House.
Washington Dispatch Baltimore Herald.
The man who will take Senator Reagan's
seat in the House of Represe -tatives has
arrived. He will take the noted Texans
seat, but hardly his place, in Congress. At
first sight Hon. Mr.. Martin somewhat
startles one He is dire city opposite to Mr..
Reagan in build, for the latter is fat, round
and short, while Martin is tall, angular
and thin.
Take Buffalo Bill, Texas Jack and Buck
Taylor. the cowboy, and roll them together
and then pull them out, and you will, per-
haps, see something that resembles the Hon
Mr. Martin. He looks like typical cow
boy. His sharp eatureS have a red COM
plexion for a background, with long black
hair for frame On his head he wears the
well-known soft broad brim black hat of
the ranch. HIS tall, angular form is clad
in loose black clothes, which are covered by
a long. shaggy greatcoat. He wears a
black cravat, and his "biledn shirt front
glares forth like beacon; but the diamond
pin, usually the accompaniment of the white
expanse, is missing.
Mr. Martin looks like he could make
things howl. He is middle-aged and sharp
looking, and if stirred up to a pitch he
could, no doubt, give a cowboy yell on the
floor that would double discount Senator
Reagan's ''mush-and-milk" voice.

The photographic Office at Washington

which contains some interesting matter.
Special attention is called to the routes rec
commended this month for eastward and

to be said in favor of route well to the
northward in December than at any other
time of the year.
The following forecast is given of the

SHEOL MEASURED.
Prof Cesar a. Taylor Has Fixed the
Location OF Hades

4
| Location OF HadeS.
From, the Neto York Herald.
II was verging on O'clock last night when
a young colored man who calls himself
Caesar A. Taylor, walked briskly up the
aisle of the Baptist church on West Twenty
fourth street, threw down large map OF
hell and in loud voice began to sing 'hark
to the voice of Jesus crying, you must go
and work today
! After singing the hymn, in which the
| hundred or more colored men and women
present joined, Mr.. Caesar A. Taylor pro-
! duced a ponderous scrap book, ana, ap-
preaching the reporters, said:
| These notices are taken from newspa-
pers all over the United State and they all
declare that l know more about hell than
any man living. Why, b'esS your soul, I've
been preaching hell all over this country,
Europe. Asia and Africa for the last fifteen
years, and think l ought to know some
thing about it. Ever since 1 was boy L
have studied hell He'll is going to be my
life work, and before die | am going to
prove hell to the great scientific minds OF
the age"
MUST HAVE BEEN THERE.
Going to table beneath the pulpit Mr..
Taylor spread out about twenty-five col
umns of manuscript and addressing him
self to his audience. said: II am going to
locate, describe and measure hell according
to the Bible and science"
'He BETA hab mighty long tape messiah
il his yes pocket, shuahW whispered one
girl in front seat to another.
Mr. Taylor NAV have heard the remark,
for he said that wherever he went the
greatest thing he had to contend with was a
disposition on the part of people, especially
on the part of colored people, to think him
u crank, while all he wanted to do was to
put hell on a scientific basis.
"As Columbus fully demonstrated that
there was another continent to Queen 1sa-
bella, and Calico that the earth was spin
ming, and they were held to be cranks, so |
want to be the only original, real discoverer
of the land of hellfire and birthstone"
THIS is HE'LL.
After proving conclusively that the earth
was cold ball getting hot, and not hot
one getting cold, as erroneous science was
bringing the youth of the world to believe,
Mr.. Taylor began to chat of hell. He
showed that there were but fifty-two miles
of earth crust between humanity and a
molten lake of 25O, 542, O93, s5S miles of fiery
matter.
1.-The earth's crust, y said the professor, sis
constantly growing less and less in thick
ness, and there will come time when the
inhabitants of the earth will drop through
it, Is it hell? Drop in and see."
The audience declined to drop in, OF to
think of dropping in. In fact, they seemed
to receive Mr.. Taylor's ideas very coldly.
Not a sound of applause greeted him
throughout the evening. Next Sunday
evening the colored pastor, Rev. E. f.
jackson, will wipe Mr.. Taylor and his
theories of hell out of existence from the
same pulpit.
